 Posted: Fri Jul 09, 2021 8:28 am Post subject: Trumpet-to-trumpet adapter |
 |
|
| Hi All, years ago I had my Schilke E-flat/D trumpet worked on, and the repairman sold me a trumpet-to-trumpet adapter that essentially extended the instruments length and made the D side easier to play in tune. I am currently trying to find another one. The internet is full of cornet-to-trumpet adapters, but I can't find anything that takes a trumpet shank and puts it into a trumpet receiver. Before I try a 3D printing option (I still have the original), does anyone know where I can find another? Thank you! |

Bob Reeves makes a cornet-to-cornet mouthpiece adapter to lower the pitch of a piccolo trumpet, but I’ve never seen a trumpet-to-trumpet adapter.

I suggest you contact the folks at Truevee. They may have a stock solution in their catalog, and if they do not, it's possible they can make a custom adapter for you.

--------------------
Was the trpt-trpt adapter a 'handmade' item? Perhaps it was a cornet-trpt adapter that had been enlarged (reamed) to accept a portion of a trpt shank.

Bach is now calling it a "trumpet mouthpiece extension".
You can use them as is or get someone - like Osmun- to turn the shank down.
I had this done many years ago to fine tune a pic. I also had a couple of cornet/trumpet adapters turned down to different lengths. |
